Content Lifecycle Management is the foundation for comprehensive, consistent, and current contents; published and distributed through multiple channels. e:CLS supports content scheduling, creation, maintenance and revision, assembly, translation, approval, publication and, finally, storage, for the entire lifecycle of editorial content.

Successful content lifecycle management requires two, essential features:

Modular content management in information modules.

Flexible assembly of modules into publishable documents.

These requirements are ideally fulfilled with text information modules in XML format and an XML-based component content management system for module management and document assembly. The high degree of reuse leads to consistent and current publication of content. As a result, expenses for maintenance and translation are drastically reduced.

The empolis:Content Lifecycle Suite provided by empolis, is a state-of-the-art, XML-based component content lifecycle system.
